Thieves Use Credit Cards Before Cops Can Catch Up to Them

Here is a look back the Tampa Police crime blotter in the Seminole Heights area for the last week.

Tuesday July 3

  • A thief broke into a woman's vehicle at Seminole Heights Charter High School on Florida Avenue taking the victim’s purse before fleeing. A witness obtained a partial tag and police responded to the scene and around the area looking for the suspect's vehicle with negative results. Police later responded to a gas station on Busch Blvd. in order to view video of the alleged suspects using the victim’s credit card.
